The rapper stated that deep-down he has always been a Rastafarian, but became aware of this himself upon visiting priests in Jamaica.

Speaking to reporters, he said: "I didn't know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, 'Snoop Dogg'. And he looked me in my eyes and said, 'No more. You are the light; you are the lion'."

He continued: "I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated. I feel I have always been a Rastafari. I just didn't have my third eye open, but it's wide open right now."
